As Gov. Gavin Newsom launched his California redistricting campaign Thursday at an event in Los Angeles, a U.S. Border Patrol sector chief showed up outside with a contingent of armed and masked agents.

      The National Guard can be federalized. Need a state army that’s not subject to that.

        I wonder what would happen if the feds tried playing an Uno reverse on the national guard if Newsom did try to use them.

        From what I see California doesn’t have any nuclear weapons on it’s territory so I’m not sure if they would be able to resists any attempts of federalization. I don’t mean they will get nuked but army will be send in response to any attempt of secession and state army will have no chance against US army. Having nukes could protected them but they don’t have any.
